Yo Poznan!

Let’s be real – summer 2025 in Poznań was… how do we put this politely? A flop. Rain, clouds, and the occasional five minutes of sun that had us running outside like solar-powered lizards. Meanwhile, our friends came back from Spain, Greece, and God-knows-where else looking like bronzed gods. Fast forward two weeks, and their “holiday glow” was already packing its bags, leaving them pale, sad, and in line for a sunbed.

Now, sunbeds might sound tempting… until you realize they basically microwave you like a human lasagna. Sure, you’ll be tan, but you’ll also be fast-tracking wrinkles, sunspots, and skin damage. Not exactly the sexy vibe you were going for.

Enter…Perfect Tan Poznań

Located inside Queen Hair on Wodna 17 in the Old Town – a place that lets you skip the UV roulette and still walk out like you’ve just spent a week in Ibiza. We caught up with the founder, Karolina, who ditched 7 years in corporate life (and the whole “office politics and endless meetings” grind), had kids, and then decided not to go back. Lucky for us, because she’s now Poznań’s spray tan queen.

Is It Safe?

So, is it safe? We fact-checked this (don’t worry, we had our skeptical faces on). The secret sauce is DHA (dihydroxyacetone) – a colorless sugar that reacts with the top layer of your skin. It’s not some weird dye or dangerous chemical. It’s basically science giving you a high-five. The result? A natural-looking tan that shows up in a few hours and makes you look like you’ve actually seen the sun, but in a safe way!

Choose Your Shade

And get this – you can choose your shade. Karolina has color swatches so you don’t have to play tanning roulette. Want a soft golden glow? Done. Want to look like you’ve just flown back from the Maldives? Also done. One session lasts up to two weeks, and if you’re hooked on the glow (spoiler: you will be), you can keep topping it up through the gloomy Poznań autumn and winter.

Pro tip: before your session, exfoliate like your life depends on it. Smooth skin = smooth tan. If you can’t be bothered, Karolina will do the prep for you for about 50 PLN extra. The whole thing takes around 30 minutes, with the actual spray taking only 10–15 minutes. You’ll walk in pale, walk out glowing.

The Price

Price check: a full-body tan sets you back 120 PLN, and you can go cheaper if you just want the upper body (perfect for those who live in sweaters half the year).

Wrapping Up

So, here’s the deal – if you want to survive the long, grey Poznań months without looking like a background extra in a zombie movie, Perfect Tan Poznań is the move. Forget sunbeds, skip the winter blues, and step into autumn with a tan that looks straight-up tropical. We will be getting our tan real soon and reporting back with a before-and-after report!
